Some embodiments include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for determining a reception (Rx) beam sweep scale factor, N, that enables a user equipment (UE) to perform Rx beam refinement. Some embodiments are directed to a 5G Node B (gNB) that includes processor circuitry and radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to receive, using the radio front end circuitry, a MaxNumberRxB cam capability of the UE. The processor circuitry can determine based at least on the MaxNumberRxBeam capability of the UE and/or a Channel-State Information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) set with a repetition parameter configured to be 'ON', the value of N. The processor circuitry can generate a message comprising the value N, and encode the message for transmission to the UE, where N Rx beam sweeps enable the UE to perform Rx beam refinement.

Reception (RX) beam sweep scale factor

Various embodiments herein provide techniques for positioning measurements in a wireless cellular network without a measurement gap. The measurements may be performed in one or more positioning frequency layers (PFLs). Additionally, techniques for activation and/or deactivation of a measurement gap are provided. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

User equipment behavior and requirements for positioning measurement without gap

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for radio link monitoring (RLM) evaluation period and layer 1 (L1) indication interval enhancements. A user equipment (UE) uses a scaling factor to scale the RLM evaluation period and/or the L1 indication interval. Different scaling factors may be used for different scenarios, conditions, or criteria. The same or different scaling factors may be used for the RLM evaluation period and the L1 indication interval. The scaling factor or a scaling factor index may be signaled to the UE by higher layer signaling. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Radio link monitoring enhancements for power savings

An apparatus of a next generation Node B (gNB) comprises one or more baseband processors to generate an indication for a user equipment (UE) to indicate which synchronization signal block (SSB) based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) occasion can be used by the UE for one or more measurements, and to send the indication to the UE. The apparatus can include a memory to store the indication.

Enhancement for SMTC configuration for new radio

Disclosed are methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs for a coordination mechanism between a network and a user equipment (UE) that is configured to perform cross-link interference (CLI) measurements. In one aspect, a method includes generating a message that indicates a capability of a user equipment (UE) whether to support simultaneous reception of at least one signal associated with cross-link interference (CLI) measurement and at least one signal associated with a serving cell or a neighbor cell of the UE. The method further includes transmitting the message to an access node (AN).

RRM measurement restriction on CLI measurement

Methods, systems, and storage media are described for radio link monitoring (RLM) for new radio (NR). Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Radio link monitoring (RLM) evaluation mechanism for new radio (NR) systems

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for facilitating handoff of a User Equipment, engaged in beamforming, by communicating beam information between a first access point (AP) to a second AP. The first AP associated with a serving cell of the UE includes processor circuitry and interface circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to determine that the UE device is expected to associate with the second AP and identify a synchronization signal block (SSB) index associated with the first AP. The processor circuitry is further configured to generate a message that includes the SSB index to enable the second AP to pre-configure downlink and uplink resources for the UE before the UE associates with the second AP. The interface circuitry is coupled to the processor circuitry and configured to communicate the message to the second AP.

Method for enabling fast mobility with beamforming information

A device of a New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE), a system, a method and a machine-readable medium. The device includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and processing circuitry coupled to the RF interface. The processing circuitry is to: cause communication with a NR evolved Node B (gNodeB) on a first bandwidth part (BWP); determine a BWP switching delay for an uplink (UL) communication from the UE to the gNodeB, the BWP switching delay based on a timing advance (TA) for the UL communication; encode the UL communication for transmission to the gNodeB; switch from the first BWP to a second BWP at an expiration of the BWP switching delay; and cause transmission of the UL communication on the second BWP.

Mechanisms for bandwidth part (BWP) switching in a new radio (NR) network

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for quality-based measurements in new radio (NR). The measurements concern reference signal received quality (RSRQ) measurements and pertinent received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements, and signal-to-noise and interference measurements of synchronization signal (SS-SINR) in NR. Various embodiments describe how to measure the pertinent power levels in time domain and frequency domain. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Quality based measurement definition for new radio systems

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to process a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n, and to perform an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay. The one or more baseband processors are to accommodate a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch. The apparatus can include a memory to store the BWP switching request.

Bandwidth part switching delay for uplink transmission

Methods, systems, and storage media described herein may have the complexity to support simultaneous communications (e.g., transmission/reception to/from) with two or more cells. Therefore, before configuring a handover, the network needs to know if these methods, systems, and storage media can support simultaneous communication with multiple cells or not. Among other things, these methods, systems, and storage media can reduce the interruption time during handovers for when these methods, systems, and storage media are capable of such simultaneous communication.

Connectivity enhancement

An approach is described for a user equipment (UE), wherein the UE includes radio front end circuitry and processor circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry receives a reference signal from a source device via a radio link, wherein the reference signal is one of the synchronization signal block (SSB) signal or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). The processor circuitry measures a quality of the reference signal, and measures an evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry determines a first indicator of the radio link based on the quality of the reference signal, and determine a second indicator of the radio link based on the evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry then determines a status of a connection of the radio link based on the first indicator and the second indicator of the radio link, and generate a message based the status of the connection. The radio front end circuitry then transmits the message to the source device.

Method and apparatus for new radio unlicensed (NR-U) radio link monitoring preliminary class
